Not an update as such, more of a to-do list.
Few of things I need to address at the minute.
1. The heaters only seem to blow warm/hot air regardless of the CC temp displayed. Not sure it this is something I've done when changing the CC panel over or what. I've been reading this thread: https://www.cliosport.net/threads/only-hot-air-out-of-heater.308548/ so will see if i can get to the panel in the footwell to check out if the spindle thing is knackered. hopefully it will be a quick easy fix. Problem is I have a very short fuse with fiddly jobs! So hopefully I can remain calm and not lose my s**t too much 😂 This hasn't bothered me too much recently as it's been cold, but once the weather gets warmer it's going to get old really quickly!
2. The exhaust (Janspeed i think it is) on the car pops when I lift off the throttle. Not sure if this is a 'pop/bang' map, or a characteristic of this exhaust. @mossyv6 @Degsy1967 @Jenesaisqoui Would you guys be able to shed any light on this? Not bothered if it's a characteristic of the exhaust, but if it's down to the map, I will probably have it removed. Heard bad things about 'pop/bang' maps and injectors. Cheers guys.
3. Need to get the weather to sort itself out so I can get the car up in the air and give it a service and a bloody good clean underneath it to get rid of all the winter crap. A full 'detail' to be done also.
4. The alignment is out, hit a pothole quite hard, the roads around here are seriously appalling at the minute, constantly weaving side to side to avoid potholes (craters is a more apt word for some of them!) so I will be booking it in with RSMurray in Leeds to have that put right, not sure if they do tyre fitting too, but if they do I'll be having the UniRoyal RS3's replaced for some decent grippy tyres. Then towards the end of summer, i'll be looking for a cheap set of either Valver Turbines or Willy Wheels as my winter wheels.
5. Will probably get the car on the rollers at RS Tuning in Leeds too, get them to stick a custom map on it.
Love having a list of plans for the car. Gives me something to look forward to
For now, I have decided to live with the slightly different colour N/S/F wing and the 'ghost' stripes. I know they are there when I look for them, but they aren't noticeable unless they are pointed out really. I'm just gonna enjoy the car as it is and worry about it another time.

I recommend bramracing too for alignment! Potholes are terrible around Huddersfield 100% worse than they were before. I've had cars behind on multiple occasions mimic me as I avoid them all. b******s.Not an update as such, more of a to-do list.

The 10mm will make little to no difference what will be noticeable is going from a tyre with one of the softest sidewalls to one of the firmest, better turn in, increased steering response, less of a feeling the cars about to tip over. Its more like how the car was made to feel when it left the factory on the original MICHELIN Pilot Exalto PE2
